I love to Walk Early Mornings

May 21, 2016 Posted by Karen Huxter 2 Comments

It is very therapeutic and gets my day off to a good start.

Karen’s early morning walk

Life is very busy and hectic here.  It is not easy to keep up with the work load needed to keep things running properly. Thus morning walks are very important to start my day in thankfulness and appreciation.

Some of the time the older children and/or fellow missionaries to HATS are with me but mostly I do so by myself.  I love the cooler temperatures, the quietness before it all becomes noisy and busy.

Too, I love to see and photograph the beautiful and industrious Haitian people as they go about the start of their days.

I like getting off the beaten paths and seeing the people I have come to love.

I thank God for the honour and privilege of serving him in Haiti for the past 21 years and for allowing me the health and strength to continue doing so.

I thank him for all of you, our HATS friends and supporters, who make it possible for us to help educate the students and to take care of the children.

HANDS ACROSS THE SEA-Haiti    IS   ALL   ABOUT   THE   CHILDREN

God bless you all.
